Membership has its privileges – and for the sixth year running, lncisal Edge dental lifestyle magazine has gone coast to coast to track down 40 of the finest dental practitioners age 40 and under, and induct them into this august professional group.

According to Incisal Edge:

“That’s 240 young doctors in all since we inaugurated these honors in 2011.

We invited them to Manhattan, where our stylists and photographers treated them like the dental royalty they are – tricking them out in the latest couture and giving them the full VIP treatment.

Then we simply … let them be themselves. They mingled, joked, shared success stories and got ready for their well-deserved close-ups. Dressed to the nines and raising a toast to one another, these latest additions to our burgeoning roster of sterling young doctors have made it past the velvet rope with ease and into an even more exclusive group: the practitioners who are, through the sheer force of their commitment and expertise, helping our profession ascend to even greater heights in the years ahead.”
